I Just Don't Know

Besides the fact that my computer went ‘bonkers’ on me and left me ‘adrift’ a few days(boy was that an experience, like suddenly losing a friend)…there are also, more serious, personal things that have been happening. I Praise Jehovah…I am back and can share.

Please see; “Love Me!” and “First Dance”. At this posting, I Thank God that there are already signs of improvement. Thus, as we continue to ‘Trust Him’, we are…Pressing-on, Amen.


Poem Artwork

I often pray and say…Dear God…  

I don’t know what I would do without…You

Herein, facing a hard hour…

this is more than completely true .

When…life happens…especially to your child…

it hurts.

Certainly, one’s faith in God is there, but…

the pain…flirts.

My first born, Kim…about whom I’ve posted poems

has had a mini-stroke

Tho’ prognosis is good, with her home amidst therapy…

my ‘ache’ for her…yet soaks.

Undoubtedly, a union…is also being tested…

a union… which heaven did indeed allocate

Where caring strength is being evidenced

in the attendance of a loving mate.

And…I must give my daughter credit, as …

despite it all, she is ‘taking it on the chin’

Albeit, how marvelous is our Ever-Present Healer

who faithfully emits… His vim.

Not only to her but also to me, for…

as scenes from her yesteryears flash…

they cause my concerned heart to recall…

the treasure of her perfect… first laugh.

Thus, pressing-on I’m so very grateful for a Creator

who unquestionably…has everything in tow

Whereby I reiterate…Oh, Dear Lord…

without You, what would I do?!? …I just don’t know.

 

PS 124, PS 121, PS 37:25-26

Our Lord is always near by to help when rough times come! He knows our anguish and hears our prayers. His tender touch will be up on her and he will keep her safely in his tender care. HE hears your prayers and he is ALWAYS there for you!
Blessings, Marygrace

I wish your daughter well and improving health. It was my mother's three many strokes in 2011 gradually made her life more difficult. Before that she got around the computer very well I was doing things with it that I didn't try.

My computer to make my poem started to act up today and delayed my getting my poem to my website in here about three hours. I hope I don't have to buy another computer.

There is a tenderness and honesty that shines in this remarkable poem that reads like a prayer in its own right, a testimony if there ever was one, suffused with gratitude and thankfulness even about what one doesn't know. Well crafted inspiration.
